Trains Songtext

A light rain is falling, I'm leaving home my life is calling It's calling from the end of the line it's been that way for all that time For things beyond our power, it forced us to remain All our lives we wait on trains Look how the fields are xswaying, we were one town children playing And the wind was in our sails headed homeward and hightailing But all that once was bright has now become so faint. All our lives we wait on trains We wait on trains to take us from here To take us places beyond the hill To bring our sons and daughters home if it be God's will She's got a whole lot of love to gather but no time now or maybe never Her friends all say don't bother her, he ain't on that train, young mother But she don't pay no mind, she believes just the same All our lives we wait on trains All our lives we wait on trains
